After defeating the barbarian tribes, the Night Dynasty enjoyed a brief period of rest and recuperation.
During this time, Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu further strengthened the military defense system of the Night Dynasty, and at the same time, they devoted more energy to the magic academy, hoping to cultivate more magic talents who could stand on their own, in preparation for future needs.
At the magic academy, a young student named Lin Yu caught Chen Xiao's attention.
Lin Yu is extremely talented, with an extraordinary comprehension of magic. Moreover, he is diligent and hardworking, and has mastered a variety of advanced spells in a short period of time.
Chen Xiao decided to take him on as his personal disciple and teach him himself. Under Chen Xiao's careful guidance, Lin Yu's magical strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he soon became one of the best in the academy.
However, just as the Night Dynasty seemed to be developing steadily, a mysterious dark force began to quietly surge on the edge of the continent.
Wherever this dark force went, it brought devastation and turned once vibrant lands into barren wastelands. All sorts of evil creatures emerged from the darkness, burning, killing, and looting the surrounding villages and towns.
Upon learning this news, Chen Xiao was filled with worry.
She realized that this dark force was more powerful and dangerous than any enemy she had ever encountered before.
In order to understand the source and details of this dark force, Chen Xiao decided to personally lead a reconnaissance team to investigate the area ravaged by the dark force.
Xu Ruyu was naturally worried about Chen Xiao going alone, so he insisted on going with him.
Chen Xiao couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had no choice but to agree.
So the two selected a group of elite soldiers and outstanding students from the magic academy to form a reconnaissance squad and set off towards the area ravaged by dark forces.
As they approached the area shrouded in dark power, a thick, putrid stench assaulted their nostrils, making them want to vomit.
Black fog filled the sky, obscuring the sunlight and plunging the entire world into darkness.
Chen Xiao and the others proceeded cautiously, observing their surroundings with vigilance.
Suddenly, a group of strangely shaped dark creatures rushed out of the darkness and attacked them.
These dark creatures are enormous, incredibly strong, and possess powerful dark magic.
Chen Xiao and the others quickly unleashed their magic to counterattack, and a fierce battle ensued.
During the battle, Chen Xiao discovered that these dark creatures seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force; their actions were erratic yet exceptionally ferocious.
In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Chen Xiao unleashed his Star Power, forming a powerful beam of light that illuminated the entire dark area.
Bathed in light, the dark creatures cried out in pain, and their movements became sluggish.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xiao led everyone in a fierce attack on the dark creatures.
With everyone working together, the dark creatures were gradually driven back.
However, just when Chen Xiao and the others thought the battle was about to end, a huge figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
The figure was a giant radiating black light, exuding a powerful aura of darkness that sent chills down one's spine.
The giant looked at Chen Xiao and the others and sneered, "You overconfident fools, how dare you trespass into my territory! Today, you will all become my sacrifices!"
After saying that, the giant unleashed a powerful dark magic, and countless black tentacles stretched out from the ground, wrapping around Chen Xiao and the others.
Chen Xiao and the others quickly used magic to dodge, but some soldiers were still hit by the tentacles and instantly swallowed by the dark power.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao was filled with anger.
She unleashed her strongest stellar power and launched an attack on the giant.
Xu Ruyu and the other magic students also cast spells to fight against the giants alongside Chen Xiao.
Under the combined attack of the group, cracks began to appear in the giant's body.
